Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

As the Sha Huang Mountain Spirit Vein advanced, the peak grew taller.

Along with it, the peaks outside Sha Huang Mountain also became greener.

And at this moment, many temporary caves were opened on these small peaks, and even a temporary market near Sha Huang Mountain has been set up.

Some Foundation Establishment Cultivators are organizing small trade meetings, and it’s quite lively right now, with stalls, temporary shops, and even bartering, truly living up to the saying, ”Though small, a sparrow has all the vital organs.”

Most people organizing these small meetings are Loose Cultivators.

It should be known that the ceremony hosted by Celestial Sand Sect this time is a Golden Core ceremony, where there will be Golden Core teachings.

Therefore, more Loose Cultivators have arrived, even more than some Clan Cultivators, attracted by the fame.

After all, many Loose Cultivators stumbled upon Cultivation Techniques and embarked on the Cultivation path without guidance, forcing them to explore alone. Now they have this opportunity, and despite the great distances, they have arrived early.

Especially those from other prefectures, because Xiaoshan Prefecture doesn’t have a Teleportation Array, some started their journey on a Spiritual Ship six months earlier upon hearing the news by chance.

At this moment, two cultivators arrived at a stall and picked up a bag of Spirit Rice seeds.

This Spirit Rice is not ordinary; it is Tier Two High-grade Jin Yuan Chestnut Rice.

It matures once every five years, and even Foundation Establishment Cultivators can benefit greatly from consuming this rice.

”How much is this Spirit Rice seed being sold for?”

”Eight thousand Spirit Stones!” The cultivator looked up and, seeing the clothes of Celestial Sand Sect, wanted to quote ten thousand but swallowed it back down.

”Alright, I’ll take it!” The cultivator was Ye Qinghe of the Ye Family, and upon hearing the price, he did not hesitate.

He directly took out eighty pieces of Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

There were a hundred seeds of Spirit Rice, and the market price is about nine thousand Spirit Stones, so the cultivator already lowered the price a bit.

Therefore, he paid with Middle Grade Spirit Stones, which in conversion, equates to approximately eight thousand one hundred Spirit Stones.

”Thank you, Brother Dao!” That person also cupped his hands in gratitude.

”Are there any other Tier Two Spirit Rice?” Ye Qinghe also inquired.

But the person shook his head.

Ye Qinghe was not disappointed either, as Tier Two Spirit Rice is not common.

The Ye Family’s greatest resource now is territory. In the entire Desert Sea with so many oases, many Spirit Veins and Spirit Fields are barren.

Planting Spirit Medicines has a long return cycle, and planting too much is not cost-effective.

Spirit Rice is the best choice; the Ye Family has many Spirit Fields and plenty of manpower.

Even some easy-to-grow Tier One Spirit Rice can be cultivated by Mortal Martial Artists with guidance from cultivators.

However, Tier Two Spirit Rice is what the Ye Family lacks the most.

This Tier Two High-grade Jin Yuan Chestnut Rice perfectly fills the Ye Family’s gap.

Ye Qinghe put away the Spirit Rice and then got up to browse the adjacent stalls.

However, the cultivator next to him pulled him back.

”Let’s go back, Brother Nan instructed us not to stay too long. This time, not just Golden Cores from Xiaoshan Prefecture will come, so more preparations are needed!” This person, named Ye Qingming, was among the first Array Masters to arrive.

Hearing this, Ye Qinghe couldn’t help but walk out of the temporary market, though he occasionally looked back with some regret in his eyes.

Of course, he didn’t regret not being able to continue shopping, but regretted not being able to host the Golden Core ceremony at Lingyun Peak in Yan Kingdom.

Although it’s still hosted by the Ye Family cultivators and even more grand, it’s not in the name of the Ye Family.

Nonetheless, the ceremony still needs to be grand.

This concerns the future development of the Ye Family.

And according to Ye Jingnan, even the mansion masters of Xiaoshan Prefecture and Wangqing Prefecture will come, and there may be even more Golden Cores.

At this moment, twelve temporary palaces for Golden Core True Masters have been built on Sha Huang Mountain.

Even now, with only a few days left, the number of palaces is still expanding.

This is enough to demonstrate the significant impact of this Golden Core ceremony.

...

In the Assembly Hall on Sha Huang Mountain, the originally repaired four-layered hall was modified by the Celestial Sand Sect once more.

If Huang Tiyun’s initial intention was to invite a few Golden Cores to elevate the Celestial Sand Sect’s reputation,

His goal has now been exceeded by several times.

According to what they know, at least nine Golden Cores will come this time, not even counting those who did not announce their arrival, so even the twelve palaces are being expanded.

Inside the great hall, Huang Tiyun and Xiao Congrong are present, along with Ye Jingnan, Ye Xingliu, and Ye Haiyan.

”Hasn’t the Supreme Elder come out of seclusion yet?” Although Huang Tiyun knew he might be getting too anxious,

he couldn’t help but worry.

After all, this is the grandest ceremony of the Celestial Sand Sect, and it might be the most glorious moment of his life.

If Ye Jingcheng remained in seclusion without coming out, it would indeed be embarrassing.

”It should be soon, Elder Huang, don’t worry. Next, we should focus on expanding our Celestial Sand Sect’s shops and industries based on the profits from the market in Xiaoshan Market!” Ye Xingliu said.

As he spoke, he also looked towards Xiao Congrong.

Xiao Congrong had rushed back from Xiaoshan Market, taking no more than a day.

Upon hearing Ye Xingliu speak, Xiao Congrong indeed took out a Jade Talisman.

”Elder Qian Liu, Elder Ye Yan, this is the investigation I’ve conducted on the sect market over the years!”

”In my opinion, within the entire Xiaoshan Market, the Righteous Treasure Tower of the Righteous Sect sells the most Spirit Pills, yet their prices do not have an advantage. Next is Zi Fu Sect, whose drawback is a slight shortage in Divine Soul Spiritual Pills and Body Refining Spiritual Pills. Therefore, our sect should focus on developing these two types of Spirit Pills. Additionally, our Spirit Pill prices need to be slightly more competitive than Zi Fu Sect!”

”Secondly, due to the decline of the Xu Family, there’s now a significant market for Spirit Rice and Spiritual Cuisine. My suggestion is to establish another restaurant...” Xiao Congrong elaborated.

He shared quite a few plans.

Many of these plans were exactly what the Ye Family wanted.

And coincidentally, they were tasks the Celestial Sand Sect found challenging to accomplish.

This left Huang Tiyun feeling inexplicably powerless.

After all, if the Celestial Sand Sect cultivators couldn’t do it, then it could only be done by the Ye Family cultivators.

”Elder Huang, since we intend to establish a restaurant, preparation concerning Spirit Rice and Spirit Wine preparation will be necessary. We may need Elder Huang to increase Spirit Rice cultivation and begin brewing Spirit Wine using Spirit Rice and Spirit Fruit!” Ye Xingliu naturally picked up on Huang Tiyun’s thoughts and duly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Huang Tiyun exhaled a long breath.

The Celestial Sand Sect cultivators were inadequate in Alchemy, Artifact Refining Array, and Spirit Talisman, but cultivating Spirit Fields required only cultivators, with lower skill requirements. This, the Celestial Sand Sect cultivators could naturally accomplish.

”Of course, tomorrow I’ll give the orders!” Huang Tiyun nodded.

”By the way, with so many cultivators attending this ceremony, let’s also host an auction, right at the mountainside of Sha Huang Mountain. Build a new auction tower!” Having finished the negotiation, Ye Xingliu spoke again.

The Ye Family, opening a restaurant, naturally would also have to sell corresponding Spiritual Cuisine, Spirit Wine, and Spirit Tea.

Naturally, an auction would further aid in establishing their reputation.

When the time comes to auction Tier Four Longevity Tea, many Golden Core cultivators would occasionally visit the Ye Family’s restaurant.

Having Golden Core cultivators occasionally visit ensures the Ye Family won’t lack other cultivator visitors.

Next, Ye Xingliu continuously discussed the specifics of the auction hall.

...

Above the teleportation array at Sha Huang Mountain, as white light rolled, Ye Jingcheng and others appeared above.

Currently guarding the cave mansion was the reclusive Ye Jing Hu.

Due to the Celestial Sand Sect ceremony being held, even those family members like Ye Jingting and Ye Qingwen who ventured out to establish the sect would return, hence Ye Jing Hu also awaited early here.

”Eleventh Brother, Uncle Xingliu mentioned Mansion Master Xiao sent word, this time three Mansion Masters would arrive, six confirmed Golden Core cultivators, including Master Zifu, Lady He, Feng Family Patriarch Feng Daoran, Thousand Puppet Sect’s Master Qian Kui and Shan Kui True Master, and Hundred Beasts Sect’s Master Qian He!”

As Ye Jingcheng stepped out, Ye Jing Hu introduced them to him.

”Hmm!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, though internally quite surprised.

In his expectations, only Xiaoshan Prefecture’s Golden Core were anticipated, but now it’s not just Xiaoshan Prefecture’s Golden Core, but also the Righteous Sect’s mansion masters, estimating that numerous other Golden Cores would come as well.

It’s now comparable to a small Golden Core meeting.

Certainly, Ye Jingcheng looked forward to this; he could trade some treasures.

Most of his Advancement Pills were accounted for, but special Advancement Pill Spirit Materials like Stone Spirit, Peach Wood, Spring Spirit had not been secured.

Yet, Ye Jingcheng had to be wary of Master Qian He.

In Xiaoshan Prefecture, the Ye Family could showcase their Alchemy Skill, Arrays, and Artifact Refining, but the Beast Taming Ye Family was not prepared to expose.

Doing so ensures protection from investigation by the Penglai Immortal Sect.

With Master Qian He’s arrival, the implications may be broader.

”Jing Hu, organize these family members, I’ll head back to the cave mansion!” Ye Jingcheng furrowed his brow.

His Divine Sense had already swept across Sha Huang Mountain.

Everything else seemed normal, but not far from his cave mansion, Zhu Wenjing was still meditating.

She was also dressed in Celestial Sand Sect’s Daoist Robe.

It was Ye Jingcheng’s first time seeing such a persistent woman.

After all, since his return to the Yan Kingdom, nearly three months had passed.

Ye Jingcheng quietly returned to the cave mansion, then fell in front of Zhu Wenjing.

”Why are you here?” Ye Jingcheng asked for the first time.

”Elder Qianchen, when my family’s brink of collapse approached, I swore to serve as a maid or slave to anyone who could save the Zhu Family!” Zhu Wenjing bit her lip, her beautiful peach blossom eyes appearing increasingly pitiful.

”I don’t need you as a maid or servant. If you wish to join the Celestial Sand Sect, cultivate well, and aim to protect the Zhu Family yourself in the future!” Ye Jingcheng spoke directly.

Then he turned, seeming to recall something, and added:

”Find the sect steward, claim a cave mansion, don’t continue meditating here, otherwise if anyone sees, they’ll belittle my Celestial Sand Sect for having a Foundation Establishment Cultivator meditating outdoors? Wouldn’t that make my Celestial Sand Sect look inferior?”

As Ye Jingcheng spoke, his brow tightened, his words stern.

He then directly returned to the cave mansion.
